Anyone else catch the prologue in front of Rogue One? I would say it's Nolan's best one so far; tense as hell and some magical camerawork. Yeah, I thought it was great, though I read somewhere that it's not actually the prologue, but a random few minutes of the film. I hope the rest of the film is just as good because I know a lot of people were kinda meh on the trailer but were wildly impressed with the clip in front of Rogue One.

And I remember that t-g dude being one of the more sensible Nolan fans on IMDb. Do you know where he is now? He's not on Reddit? If not, he's probably on IMDb 2.0, which I've never registered for. He's actually a moderator for the FG board on Reddit. He just hasn't posted there in the last week. I talked about La La Land and Lion with him on Letterboxd.

Sorry folks. Nolan will never be win an Oscar for Directing
Will be surprised if this doesn't bomb actually.
Of course the Kubrick escort is shaming Hacksaw Ridge, unparalleled and spiritual filmmaking

I think he will. When was the last time the Academy awarded a war film in major categories? The Hurt Locker? am i forgetting something.
If not I think Nolan has a good shot at getting nominated.

No your opinion actually is your worst of all. Anyone nominate Hugh Jackman for prestige here?

The TV spots for this have been incredible. I wanted to avoid any other footage than what I've already seen but they keep showing them in these NBA playoff games and it's impossible to look away. Seriously can't fucking wait.

The Nolan fanboys are going to be annoying as hell, but I've warmed up to Nolan winning director in a split
No way in hell this movie will have the acclaim to compensate for the early release, but not many directorial achievements in contention this year
Payne looks DOA, Haynes might not get nominated, Luca is just a critic thing, Darkest Hour will be the Oldman show only, Bigelow isnt winning again for a polarizing political thriller in August
So, it's just Nolan and Villeneuve, who might not even get nominated and has a film that could be too dense with little emotion and no acting noms
Despite my urges, I'm reluctantly predicting The Post to win BP but Spielberg will not win director for that-- it's going to be extremely late, it's not a visual film, and it doesnt have a high potential for techs at all (It's literally just monologues in rooms and offices)
He has a history of snubs, but this is pure bait and more traditional-- at the very least, Globes will probably give him the wain because they're so star-thirsty

And I've learnt from Silence, hype and respected-name-billing from Scorsese and Neeson (to some extent) doesn't translate to frontrunner. If traditional bait was to win, Lincoln would've been Spielberg's 3rd BD Oscar.

Give over. there really isn't any other movie which could though. The Post (I've written above so I won't bother repeating) Villeneuve: Sci-Fi and may disappoint due to the over-the-skies hype, even if it's good. Could see it performing like T2 more than anything. Villeneuve might get in as passion pick if the movie is loved across the board, but nothing more than that. Nolan: If it was an acting contender, we would've known by now, so that part doesn't help for it. Also, early release. It feels like it would need to be Inception level good, or the year has to be weak af (which it doesn't feel like). Seems like it could bomb (no pun intended)

If traditional bait was to win, Lincoln would've been Spielberg's 3rd BD Oscar. I would agree under normal circumstances, but this year wont hold normal circumstances It looks TERRIBLE for contenders (Downsizing is already a flop, Darkest Hour is meh, Detroit is a no, Nolan fanboys are desperate to make it happen but Dunkirk is not winning) Literally, Post wouldnt be a huge contender in most years but Spielberg is rushing it out just because of how relevant and baity it is In a terrible year and the new balloting, they can just default to the consensus bait! There's so much against it (no fests, middlebrow, Dec release) but it stands a great chance at winning Screenplay and Streep could even sucker her way to a 4th win (after her Globes speech, she'll keep pushing the Trump narrative) It'll be overrated because of how "relevant" it is, and it will place highly on most ballots I've learned to bet on the Telluride, TIFF, fall fest breakout but I just dont see any crowdpleasers that fit that standard (Lean on Pete is probably too detached, and Last Flag will be too small) I was high on Wonderstruck for this exact reason, but reviews are currently at 71% on RT with a 6,6 out of 10 average score In a year with no sappy, emotional crowdpleasers, Wonderstruck stands a great chance at owning that exact demographic that makes sentimental films like Lion happen, but I just dont think it'll have the passion to be ranked very highly and emerge as a consensus choice

Or this and the PTA would emerge as frontrunners after precursors and The Post would win like Spotlight lol
